(Updated review). This was the only Chinese restaurant in town ten years ago, and is the best based on the food, and not the lack of choices (I don't lump Thai food on). They have great appetizers with a reduced amount for a smaller amount for $5; a Value Meal that has entree, rice and eggroll - just the right size for my wife; and 5 different spice levels. Only con - no Mu Shu pork! But not much of a sacrifice for such consistently good fare. Oh yeah - the delivery time is normally 30 minutes. If you decide to eat in, the decor and coziness is nice and service friendly. Great place to go for that Christmas Eve Chinese fix! read more

it's not Asian food. You are better off going to Panda Express than here. The fried rice is nothing but brown rice. I didn't see 1 Asian person on there. The orange chicken was awful no flavor. the rice tasted like they made it with aquarium water. Go elsewhere anywhere. read more

Pacific Rim - Totally gross! - Chinese Near Me - Amarillo, Texas

For some reason I craved Chinese food while traveling through Amarillo for the night. Who would think I found one of my favorite places located in North Texas? Yelp reviews pay off once again. It was surprisingly empty with only two tables occupied at 7pm on a Saturday so I'm guessing lots of carry out and deliveries because the kitchen was busy. I ordered take out and it still was ready pretty quickly. Very friendly and helpful staff when I asked about the different spicy heat levels and different foods. I had some hot and sour soup, and the cashew chicken with lo mein noodles and got it medium heat. It was perfect. Hot enough for flavor and a little sting but not so much to ruin eating it in comfort. Portion was great and very flavorful. Wish I lived closer but have a new go to spot anytime in town. Highly recommended. read more

Absolute perfection! The location is very convenient. It's absolutely beautiful on the inside as you can tell by the pictures that I will share. It is so peaceful inside there not a lot of loud noises clanking and crazy music. The server name was Zai She did an amazing job answered all my crazy questions and was so friendly. I feel like it's hard to find a good Chinese Food place here in Amarillo. This place was exactly what we were looking for. I hated it took us so long to find it. The food was absolutely amazing. It will definitely be a regular restaurant we go to. Thank you to Pacific Rim for a wonderful first experience, hoping for many more to come. By the way, sorry about the messy Kung pow chicken picture. When it got there, I tore into it so fast that I forgot to take a picture of the presentation. Wanted to make a correction in my post. After I posted it I noticed it we had ordered two years ago to go. That was really, very first moved here. And I totally forgot about the place. So excited I found them again. read more

On a road trip, stopped in Amarillo. Hubby found this restaurant AND they would deliver! Ordered over the phone (address issue on the website). Keto options were amazing (beef and chicken)! 2 different soups ordered, came in brown lunch bags with the type of soup and each with a smiley face! $3 delivery charge - priceless! Extremely happy!!! read more

Don't let last days of 'blue light' K-Mart parking lot ambience fool you. The food and the service are definitely a reason to stop. Come on over and review the appetizer menu upon entry because it's not in the menu! Enjoy the scrumptious food. I can't speak for all items, but what I tried was delicious. read more

Place doesn't look like much from the outside however when you enter it is super cute with nice background music and great service. The food was really nice with good portions. We had vegetable delight with chicken and sesame chicken. They both were very delicious. The price is right as well. If you're interested in Chinese food come check this place out. It's pretty good. read more

Road tripping and hubby & I were hungry for different things. He had the orange chicken , i opted for the fresh Hawaiian salad! So fresh mixed greens, mango , cucumbers, red onions, cucumbers, chicken with a homemade yummy vinaigrette dressing. Nice young man who was our waiter , we swapped some stories made for a fun meal. read more

Took my son and his family for dinner (at his suggestion). Food was really good. I liked that you could order whatever spice level you wanted. The Kung Pao Chicken (level 3) was just right. Huge portions, friendly service, and the 6 of us ate for just a bit over $100. Great experience. read more

I was staying at the motel next door and looking for somewhere to get food quickly. Looked up google maps and it was literally feet from our room! I ordered veggie noodles and they were hot, delicious and reasonably priced, they also had mini bottles of wine , so I took one back to my room and yum I'd definitely recommend them read more

Pretty decent place for Asian cuisine considering it's Amarillo Texas. Definitely not horrible, nor amazing, but good. Good enough to satisfy you for dinner with little to complain about. But pretty basic. I'll be honest, if I had to go back in time and there was a Panda Express right next to this place, I might go with the Panda. I liked the prices here, they didn't break the bank and portions were nice. I was a bit taken aback by the egg drop soup. It was BRIGHT yellow. I'm talking, did they empty food coloring into it, type of vividness. I regretted getting it as it didn't even really taste good. But maybe that's just how the soup is. The create-your-own stir fry was good. Nothing spectacular, but if you're hungry after a long day of driving, it'll satisfy. All in all, I'm giving this place 4-stars considering 3 things combined: 1) the fact that it's a chic Asian fusion joint with lots of options in the middle of Amarillo Texas with edible food, the food pricing, and the fact that you can purchase alcohol to go. Were this in a different location that was culturally diverse, I would have given it 3 stars but I know it's tough right now and it seems like this restaurant is really trying. The inside has a nice atmosphere and is well-decorated. read more

Awesome food, very plentiful and always very nice. Watch out for spicy level 5.. it is great but hot!!

Amarillo, TX is chic enough to have culturally diverse dishes. I ordered vegetarian pancit To Go. They gave me chicken pancit, but offered to remake my dish if I brought original order back. Unfortunately, I wasn't willing to drive back over to return original order. Told them, I would be back in couple days. Vegetarian Pancit was totally delicious w/ re-do order. I got a Garlic Chicken Stir Fry for a work colleague. They were unimpressed w/ the "pink" color of the chicken in stir fry dish. If you order To Go, check your order before leaving restaurant or delivery driver leaves. Corrected Veg. Pancit dish was so good. Enjoy. read more

Best Chinese food my Wife and I have found in Amarillo. Great food, good portions , good service and they are never too busy (which is odd, as their food is so much better than the others in town) highly Recommended!!! read more

The service was excellent. The place had nice ambience. I got the pancit and it was very good and I was happy to find a place that serves it in Amarillo. This city has lots of great restaurants including International but is missing a few including Greek, Filipino, Hawaiian, Mediterranean, Etc. I have been missing Filipino food so I enjoyed the pancit after finding out they had it on their menu. The parking is easy and the location is easy to find. For some reason I thought this was a buffet place so I hadn't come in here previously but after looking at their menu online I decided to give them a try. I'll have to come back but it will be hard to try something different since I'll always be craving the pancit. read more

Have passed by this location for years and had not stopped in. I cheated myself. The family and I pulled up yelp and decided to change where we eat and Pacific Rim was at the top of the app. So glad we went the service was friendly and most importantly the food was just great. We will be returning and would recommend to anyone read more

Thanks yelpers! Great food. Everyone at our table were very pleased with their meal. Our waitress was more than accommodating with any special requests. We are all eager to return! read more

The restaurant can't seem to get your order right, even with a picture . Don't get me wrong, I did indeed eat it, but it wasn't what I ordered read more

What do you do when your last overnight stop before Albuquerque is in Amarillo and you have a Jack Russell terrier in tow? You order out. Pacific Rim delivered on the night before the night before Christmas. Delivery was quick and the food was very tasty. Not your average Chinese takeout either. The sesame chicken wasn't the typical sweet and that's it. Subtle garlic flavor made this one my wife's favorite. The veggie lo mein was one of the best I've had and the bread pudding with bourbon caramel sauce was the perfect end and, yes, the bourbon was real. Yay! All in all we are stuffed, but maybe again in a couple hours... read more

They deliver with a $3 delivery fee - which means $8 after you tip, so there isn't any advantage to them over various food delivery services anymore. Also, I used to really enjoy their Asian Nachos, but I had them again and I don't think the recipe has changed, but that I've just developed a better pallet. The cheese tasted watered down and, like all their dishes, everything feels like a poor value. Not that anything breaks the bank, but you can get better tasting Asian food in better quantity for these prices - even for delivery now that there are so many delivery services. read more

The restaurant lacked customer service. It took 15 minutes just to ask if we would like drinks and then another 15-20 minutes to receive them. It took 20-30 minutes to receive our orders. One of our kid's orders were wrong so it was taken back which took another 20min or so, was barely attended by the waitress, seeing how my sweet tea drink was getting low, never offered a refill. Honestly, overall there was lack of communication, order confirmation, and attention to detail/customer service. read more

I have been eating here since I was 18 years old. I am now 57 years old. This is the only authentic Chinse cuisine in Amarillo. Texas. Evert where else is Thai/Chinese, which is not the same at all. People argue with me about it all the time. I worked in the very first authentic Chinese restaurant in Amarillo, House of Hunan. Shortly after it closed, the owners of Pacific Rim opened the original restaurant off Paramount, Peking Chinese Restaurant. They had a buffet at one time. This is by far the best Chinese cuisine in Amarillo. read more

just received my on line delivery order of broccoli beef and sesame chicken. we checked off "no spicy" for both. The food was so spicy my eyes are still watering. We disposed of the food after I finished choking. I called and spoke to the manager to register my complaint and requested a partial refund. She said she would not "take the loss" and I was basically out of luck. She said they do not prepare those dishes "spicy" and I was mistaken. She said food prices had gone up and she would not help me . I guess return business is not a priority to her. I'm afraid her costs will keep going up when people stop buying her food. She basically accused me of lying. What happened to customer satisfaction? I guess that's not on her menu. read more

5 stars. Traveling through on our way to Moab. It was a delight finding this next to the motel. The staff wonderful, the food great. Darian (hope I got the spelling right) took time with us to make sure my foreign Vegetarian visitor, got a meal he reported as the best chinese food he had ever had. My meal was also great, I got the Orange Chicken with a side of Spring rolls - and most important, a killer Sangria (so the Sangria was bottled, but great nevertheless). My friend likes his food very spicy, he got what he wanted - Non-refundable killer hot (number 6). - and he loved it. Comfortable seating, good decor, comfortable temperature, clean fresh environment. Great service with several staff stopping to make sure all was good, and that my spice eating friend was OK with his meal (he was). Thank you for the great dining experience. read more

Refused to serve hot sake but would serve hot tea! Food tasted pretty much the same across our many different orders.

Great Asian Fusion restaurant! Everything is made from scratch. The egg rolls as an appetizer are delicious. I would say the best in town. The main entrees are just as good. I ordered the Pancit combo and it was very delicious. The ambience is ok with the exception of the lighting. (It's too bright inside the restaurant) The lighting outside, however, is too dim. There are not parking lot lights outside. It's next to the Travelodge on I-40 & Paramount so keep your eyes out, because you won't see it at night. They have a meeting room with a projector for business meetings. We received our order in a reasonable amount of time for a sit-in restaurant. I will definitely go there again. read more

Very good food. The menu has a wide variety of choices from traditional Chinese fare to Hawaiian - American "fusion". On our first visit we all stuck to traditional Chinese "value meals"; an entree with rice and egg roll. The Kung Pao beef was fantastic and the Sesame Chicken was very good, as well. They also had some interesting looking fusion entrees on the menu that were a bit more pricy, as well as "build your own" stir fry. And they even have totally American fare. The dining room is very relaxing, nice to hear classical music for a change. The staff (owners?) were friendly and attentive. The volume of take out orders caused the cook to come take our orders and serve us. Overall, a nice evening that left the whole family satisfied and anxious to return and try some of the different offerings. read more

We stopped in here on Christmas Eve! It was so great to find a place that was open cause after my long flight for the day getting to Amarillo, I was starving! It was very clean inside and our waitress was very nice. She was even thoughtful and asked if I was ok with egg in my dish, since I was clearly ordering vegetarian options. (nice touch) The had a few ladies working and they both helped each other out to get the job done. The owner/chef (?) even popped out of the kitchen after our meals were served to say "Hi". Very friendly overall. For food we opted for the vegetarian spring rolls. It was an order of 6 and they were decent. They are true spring roll style (small) and were't greasy. They came with sweet/sour sauce, but they do have real hot mustard (not the crap in a pouch) if you ask. I opted for some hot and sour soup. It was just OK to me, not great but not bad. For dinner I opted for the vegetarian pancit noodles. I really liked this dish and would get it again. It had perfectly cooked big chunks of broccoli, lot of tofu (which I asked for) and other veggies with yummy thin noodles that were not overcooked. The only wish/suggestion would be to have the other veggies, like the carrots, cut & cooked like the broccoli. They also have a good selection of beer and a few sakes which is a plus! Overall I liked this place. Was it the most amazing food I've ever eaten?? No. But it was tasty and the service was spot on. So for a little joint in Amarillo, TX - I'm giving it 4 stars! read more

EXCELLENT!!! What a great find in Amarillo, TX! We always make a overnight stop in Amarillo on our way to Colorado and have never really found a restaurant that my entire family loves....well Pacific Rim is definitely now that place!!!! The food was all that we had hoped for!!! Delicious, fresh, and cooked to perfection! We all ate off the lunch menu and the portion size was perfect! The soups mixed (egg drop and hot & sour) is definitely a must try! Even my picky eater loved it! Our entrees where beef and broccoli, Szechwan beef, Szechwan chicken, and orange chicken. All of which I would eat again...and again!!! We will be back!!! read more

This place was so goooooood. My husband and I were traveling down to San Antonio from Colorado and decided to stop in worried we might not be able to go inside due to Covid. However, they were open, taking precautions and a great place to rest for a bit on the trip. The Bonus... The food was outstanding, I mean really outstanding. I ordered the Curry Mango Chicken with Rice, my husband had the Beef and Broccoli and we ordered an appetizer platter. The flavor profiles were so wonderful. I am picky about curry and this was delicious! The drinks were served in sparkling clean crystal wine glasses which was nice and light jazz was streaming. This will be our go to resting point from now on. So So glad we stopped in!!!!! read more

Harmless. That's the word that comes to mind when someone asks me about Pacific Rim. I've only been once and I liked it. It's not food that's going to blow your mind, but it's certainly better than some of the other "Chinese" offerings in Amarillo. The owner and chef is genuine Taiwanese and his son, Andy has brought some "fusion" to the menu by adding some American flair to the dishes. I didn't really venture any of the fusion dishes. Sure, there's steak and plenty of seafood entrees to try, but they will run you upwards of 15 dollars. I instead opted for a lunch special - the Szechuan Beef. It comes with fried rice, soup and an eggroll. The rice isn't particularly special, the soup is just OK and the eggroll is a hybrid of a Chinese eggroll (cabbage and carrots) and a Vietnamese Spring Roll (extra thin and crispy skin). The beef was not Szechuan at all. Anyone who has been to the Szechuan province in China (I have) will tell you that their beef is spicy as shit. This was sweet and dripping in some kind of syrup. My friend actually had to ask for chili peppers to liven his dish up. It was also stir-fried with carrots. Like, lots and lots of carrots drowning in this sweet sauce. Very odd. Ok, now that I'm done being a snob, I will admit the dish was still rather good tasting. (just not szechuan) Service was decent. Our host was the owner's son Andy who is pretty hilarious. Ever heard of comedian Bobby Lee? Pretend Bobby Lee owned and operated a restaurant with his dad and now you have Andy in a nutshell. LoL he's a nut. Another plus is that this place is totally gluten-free friendly. You let your server know, and they'll point out "safe" dishes for you and they even have gluten free soy sauce. I brought a friend who has a gluten allergy and he was pretty stoked by how accommodating the kitchen was. Yeah, I'll come back. I'm eager to try some of their higher priced items and see what all this "fusion" business is all about. Pros: decent grub, service, gluten-free friendly Cons: not entirely authentic, if you want any seafood dishes expect to pay more than $15 read more

An interesting fusion type place with a huge menu that caters to a lot of different palates. If you have a large group of "particular" eaters, this is the place to come! Staff is wonderful, attentive, and very friendly. Portions are very large but not over sauced or over fried. If you aren't sure what you feel like you want to eat, you should come here because they really have a little bit of everything. read more

Stopped by yesterday for lunch; I ordered sweet tea, a bowl of wonton soup and the orange beef. I have to say that the wonton soup was the best I've ever had & isn't the usual clear bland broth. The portion was huge for $5 if I recall correctly, the orange beef was sized down a bit for lunch. I'm not a big fan of sweet entrées so I won't be able to compare this orange beef to any other but I enjoyed the crispness of the beef that I encountered here and there and the flavors were good. I'm going back to try something else this evening and I will enjoy it I'm sure. The staff is also very attentive and Andy (?) Is very talkative and friendly even though he was clearly tired when I was there it didn't affect his good nature. read more
